| | Mark, Gospel according to (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net |
 | | Mark makes no mention of the destruction of Jerusalem, hence it must have been written before that event, and probably about A.D. The place where it was written was probably Rome. |
 | | Mark also uses certain Latin words not found in any of the other Gospels, as "speculator" (6:27, rendered, A.V., "executioner;" R.V., "soldier of his guard"), "xestes" (a corruption of sextarius, rendered "pots," 7:4, 8), "quadrans" (12:42, rendered "a farthing"), "centurion" (15:39, 44, 45). |
 | | His Gospel is a rapid succession of vivid pictures loosely strung together without much attempt to bind them into a whole or give the events in their natural sequence. |
